Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 266 Unconventional departure (4)

“Hmm.”

Lee Cheon-sang looked up at the sky outside the pavilion.

Ho Yo-seong looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Why are you doing that?”

“….”

“Master?”

A small smile appeared on Lee Cheon-sang’s lips.

“He’s definitely a guy who learns things quickly because it takes a lot of work.”

“yes? “Who?”

“I’m talking about Liang.”

He coolly emptied his glass and spoke calmly.

“The gate to the world of desire has already been opened.”

“What is a desire statement?”

“It speaks of the true beginning of the reigning Demon Emperor.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.

“Are you saying that Master Xiao is properly learning the Demon Emperor Qi of Reign?”

“That’s right. “I always wondered if I would practice it properly, but it looks like I’ve finally started.”

Hu Yaosheng stuck out his tongue.

“Do you know how far it is from here to Hubei?”

“There are only two people under the sky who have mastered the reigning Demon Emperor Qi, me and Liang.”

“Still.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass again.

“If you learn the Demon Emperor’s Qi properly, your demonic energy will be imbued with spirituality. But it takes more than effort to form such demonic energy.”

“It’s spirituality….”

“Even though it was only the first half, even Gong Yong couldn’t open the door of desire. “If that guy had opened the Gate of Desire and awakened the Ultimate Demon, I would have known before he even left the closed building.”

“okay.”

Hu Yaosheng said after being lost in thought for a moment.

“So to speak, it is like this. Even if you can’t open the Gate of Desire, you can still enter the Extreme Demon level depending on the level of training, as the Demon Emperor’s Qi is a magical skill of the past.

However, in order to achieve great success in the reigning Demon Emperor itself, the Gate of Desire must be opened.”

“That’s right.”

“Of course it would be difficult to open the gate of desire.”

“It’s more difficult than succeeding in our school’s teenage magic arts.”

It is said that it is more difficult to enter the Demon Emperor Qi than the Great Master of the Ten Demonic Crafts. I was able to understand why the reigning Demon Emperor was called the best Demon King in the world.

“and.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.

“Only the one who opens the gate of desire can receive the title of Heavenly Demon.”

“…!”

“In the thousand-year history of our school, there has never been a case where two people opened the gate of desire in one era. “There couldn’t be two Heavenly Demons, and there wasn’t anyone with that level of talent.”

Hu Yaosheng’s face hardened.

I thought that the Yokgyemun was simply a measure of martial arts prowess, but that was not the case.

The opening of the Gate of Desire is itself a symbol of the Heavenly Demon.

This was the reason why Lee Cheon-sang passed on the reigning Demon Emperor to Seo-ryang.

This is because if you cannot open the gate of desire of the reigning Demon Emperor, you will not be able to receive the title of Heavenly Demon, no matter how excellent your martial arts skills are.

“So Jyoju is really….”

He is a monster.

From what I heard, it was clear that opening the Gate of Desire was more difficult than reaching the Ultimate Demon. But how long has it been since it was passed down to you that you have already opened it?

“There are many factors. Because I had already awakened to extreme magic and was also learning magic techniques that were comparable to the reigning Demon Emperor.

Furthermore, since he was constantly energized by the sword I made, he was bound to be faster than others.”

Lee Cheon-sang emptied his glass again.

“Still, it’s amazing.”

The words “amazing” came out of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth. It was a huge compliment.

“If the Iron Blood Lord asks to meet face to face, things will get interesting.

The difference between those who open the gate of desire and those who cannot is clear. Perhaps the Iron Blood Lord can read Liang’s unusual temperament.”

* * *

“Have you finished your training?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. “I didn’t know that would happen either.”

“no. The most important thing for a martial artist is constant self-training. “I don’t know if I actually made them worry.”

“I was so focused that I didn’t even think about that.”

“Then you are lucky.”

“Anyway…”

Seoliang looked at Gong Yachi with puzzled eyes.

“Where does it hurt? Or is it something bad?”

The eyes, which were once clear in black and white, became quite cloudy. Looking at his somewhat bloodshot and dark undereye eyes, he looked like he had been up all night for several nights.

“It was a bit of a lot of work.”

“I see.”

“Oh, and there was a letter from the Protestant Church.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“It was sent through Haomun.”

The fact that you went through Haomun when you could have just sent it means that you should receive it a little faster.

‘Does this mean it’s urgent? As expected, he seems opposed to revealing my identity.’

Gong Yachi took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him. It was an envelope with a barely visible dragon pattern engraved on a black background.

Xu Liang opened the envelope and unfolded the letter.

“Yiing?!”

“Why are you doing that?”

“….”

“…Master Xiaojiao?”

Xu Liang stuck out his tongue.

“These guys are crazy confident.”

“What is it about….”

“Would you like to see it too?”

I pass on the letter without even hearing an answer. Gong Yachi suddenly received the letter and read its contents.

For a moment, life surged from his bloodshot eyes.

“You can proceed.”

“To be precise, I only found out about our school’s intentions. “I’m the one who makes the decisions.”

“Have you made up your mind yet?”

Xiliang scratched his head. It was a look of embarrassment.

“There is nothing else to do. “After consulting with you, I was planning to take the most effective path if it became available.”

Gong Yachi looked at Seoliang in surprise.

‘A top?’

Of course, the two have always discussed things until now.

However, it was difficult to say that it was a top. This was because most decisions were made by Seo-ryang, and Gong Ya-chi assisted him afterwards.

Seo-ryang smiled as if he guessed his feelings.

“why? “Is this surprising?”

“…That’s right.”

“Honest.”

“I know that if I hide something like this, it will come back as a huge upset later.”

“that’s right. “I hope you will continue to tell me your opinions and thoughts honestly.”

After taking a sip of tea, Seo-ryang spoke calmly.

“No matter what, I’m going to run the way I want to run. That feeling doesn’t change.

But when I look back on what happened so far, I don’t think my methods were always effective.”

“….”

“After committing a crime, it is corrected. It’s nice to feel cool inside, but it can’t be like that forever. “If it’s been like that so far, I think it’s okay to take a little more time from now on.”

“…I see.”

“Luckily, I have a helper like a thousand demons, right?”

Seoliang pointed at Gongyachi with his chin. Gong Yachi burst out laughing without realizing it.

“I don’t know if it’s a good idea, but you’re amazing.”

“what?”

“no. “I’m just talking to myself.”

Gong Yachi thought. I really can’t beat this guy.

‘Is it constantly growing? Or is it just your original nature?’

Reflecting on yourself.

When you become the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, there is no need to worry about what others think or try to change your entrenched thoughts.

Seoliang was different. He constantly worried and reflected on himself. Ask yourself whether the path you have taken is the right one or whether there is a better way.

And once the decision is made, it runs hot. When he doesn’t look back, it’s time to run.

‘When running, make sure to run and when looking back, make sure to look back.’

Gong Yachi’s eyes sparkled.

‘This person is real. You have the qualifications to become the leader of the clan. Even though he is a minor leader, he is already a complete person.’

His upper body leaned forward a little more. It was an attitude that showed a willingness to actively engage in conversation.

“My thoughts are clear. After informing the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle and eliminating unnecessary worries, attack the Uicheon Alliance with certainty. “I think that’s right.”

“is it.”

“yes. Master So suggested that we discuss it together, but in fact, the discussion was already over.

“I’ve been thinking about whether there was a more effective way for the past five days, but I couldn’t find one.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“good. “Then let’s go out somewhere hot.”

“Have you decided?”

“of course.”

Gong Yachi stood up smiling.

I didn’t sleep well, but I feel energized.

The fact that this great man respected him and the anticipation of other events to come energized him.

“It is unlikely that the Lord of Seong will come forward and ask to meet face to face.”

“I guess so. “I wonder who they will send as their spokesperson.”

“But you won’t be able to ignore Master Xiao.

“If you are a small master of the Heavenly Demon Church, which has rarely been exposed to the outside world for the past thirty years, even the Iron-Blooded Lord can’t help but be nervous.”

“That too.”

“The most trustworthy person, but also the person with the insight and brains to see through their intentions. At the same time, we will send someone strong enough to not be defeated by force.”

“Who do you think it will be?”

“It is a divine play.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

‘Hoo.’

Sinchang Pangeuk.

Danggeum is the martial arts leader.

He was one of the Iron Blood Lord’s favorite warriors and a man called the god of spearmanship.

He was a man with a reputation for being as intelligent and good at judgment as he was for his loyalty to the lord of the castle.

And he.

“The teenage master is coming forward…?”

“That’s right.”

We have finally arrived here.

Although it is considered inferior to Iron Blood Seongju, Sinchang Eongeuk was also an absolute master, considered one of the top ten masters.

Looking back on his previous days as King of Killers, he is an expert who is difficult to beat in a head-to-head match and can somehow be killed if he uses a sneak attack.

In other words, each person’s organs are different, but in terms of grade, they can be said to be experts of the same class.

‘It will never be the same. He must have grown more. Of course, I’ve never seen it.’

If he is a force that can be considered a top ten expert, then of course his talent is also enormous.

Lee Cheon-sang said that the Old Mazon is also constantly growing. If so, the same would apply to teenage masters.

Just like yourself.

“I’m very excited.”

“The possibility is high, but in reality, it may not work out. The lord of the castle could step forward himself, or….”

“Maybe both of them could step forward.”

“That’s right.”

My heart is pounding.

The sound is stronger than ever. The moment has come when I can confidently face the absolute masters of the enemy camp, whom I had never dared to face during my time as a assassin.

“You can just do what you have been doing up until now. “There is nothing to prepare.”

“No, I have something to prepare.”

“yes?”

It’s martial arts.

Whether it is the Iron Blood Castor or the Divine Spear, we must make it impossible to ignore this. To do that, I had no choice but to improve my skills.

Of course, Seoryang’s current power was not enough, he had an abundance of force, but he hoped for more.

Not as a Seongju or a Sogyoju, but as an equal expert.

They will face each other as absolute experts representing their respective organizations. No matter how strong your opponent is, you must become a giant who can accept him at any time.

“If I move right now, when will I hear from you?”

“If you calculate the time to consider, it is expected to be at least 15 days to a month.”

“Okay, let’s get started.”

“All right.”

Two people stood up.

“Master Xiao.”

“hmm?”

“thank you. “For following my stubbornness.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“okay. “If something goes wrong, I’ll beat you in the head, so let’s work hard together.”

“of course.”

Just like that, Gong Yachi left the safe house.

A strong will appeared on Seoryang’s face as he came out and looked up at the sky.

“If possible, I wish the Lord of Seong would come out in person. “I wonder what kind of face the Absolute One of Sapa has.”

About a month later.

“Master Xiao. “I received a call from the Iron Blood Castle.”

A look of turmoil appeared on Gong Yachi’s face.

“Let’s see. The Lord of Seong himself.”

Xu Liang grinned.

“Set an appointment date.”
